You’d never think it’s possible: the Japanese have now trained circus flies.

    The flies act just like those I used to put on a CO2 supplied platform in genetics class in college. The CO2 knocks them silly and their little legs move the same. No one thought to put painted ping-pong balls on their feet though. Darn.

    Yup. It’s a gimmick. Just find a way to get them on their backs, and the ball-turning is just an ordinary reaction - The way we turn it into an “act” is an illusion.
    It almost seems a little cruel.

    Its still cool, especially if you’ve never seen it done before!
